I learnt fly tying without video. Some things need a mentor, a teacher. I agree some things need video, in an app, not YouTube or Frankenstein's Monster misuse of the term ebook.

It's nonsense what you keep claiming about phone memory and video.

Ebooks absolutely should never have animation or video. They are an electronic delivered version of paper books. Add Video and/or Animation and it's no longer an ebook. Available since before Smart phones existed on PCs with probably less than 1/20th of CPU and RAM and a 1/50th of the storage.

Why try to invent a new format or destroy ebooks when what you need already existed on PCs twenty-five years ago and on smartphones as an app for over ten years?

Use a multimedia app to combine video, stills, audio and text.
